Best Ways to Earn Money with Google

With their large set of tools and assets, Google has created a multi-billion dollar company. You can use some of the tools they have created to make money yourself.

Although you will not make billions of dollars, you can earn enough money to make Google side hustles worth the effort. It will take hard work, but you should be able to make a nice chunk of change if you put in some time.

If you have ever spent time thinking about how to monetize a webpage, then Google's Adsense likely came up at some point.

Adsense is Google's cost-per-click (CPC) advertising source. If you own a blog or website, you can place Google Adsense codes on your page. When visitors click on the ads, you receive a varying amount of cash per click.

One thing to note, you cannot use Google Adsense if you use WordPress.com as your blogging platform. (WordPress.com is different from WordPress.org).

The best part about Google Adsense is that it is free for anyone with a webpage to use. You can sign up easily and start monetizing your webpage quickly.

You can even monetize YouTube videos with Google Adsense, but you will need at least 10,000 views before you are approved for this part of the program.

2. Adwords

Google Adwords is very similar to Google Adsense, but it is made for advertisers. You will not earn money directly through using Google Adwords, but effectively using Adwords can help you increase your page views.

More visitors means more income, so this is definitely a good strategy to use.

The key feature of Adwords is that it presents your ads to internet users that are already searching for your product, service or website but just don't know it yet.

By using Google Adwords, you will be better able to attract your target audience for your website.

3. Google Opinion Rewards

Do you enjoy giving your opinion freely to others? You might as well get paid for sharing your opinion.

Google would like to pay you for sharing your thoughts. Through Google Opinion Rewards, you can earn free Google Play credits for just giving your opinion to Google.

You can download the app at the Google Play Store and answer surveys in your free time. You will receive a notification when a survey is available for you to take. Most surveys will pay you up to one dollar for your opinion.

The survey topics vary, so you will never get bored of the topics you answer questions about.

The amount of money you make might be small, but it always nice to have some extra money in your spare time to use for fun things like movies and games.

4. Create and Sell Apps on Google Play

Do you have a great idea for an app? Then you should put it on the Google Play Store and make some money. There is more than one way to make money with an app in the Google Play Store.

First, you can obviously make money by selling the app you have created for money. Simply set up a Merchant account with Google Wallet.

Then publish the app as a paid app and watch the money roll in from each download.

Second, you can include Google Ads in your app without too many extra steps. As your number of users increases, so will your income!

5. Search Engine Evaluation

Did you know that you can get paid to evaluate search engine results?

It can be frustrating to stumble onto a web-page that has nothing to do with what you searched for. Search engine evaluation services help to optimize search engines in order to save search engine users wasted time.

As a search engine evaluator, you will evaluate web pages, websites, ads and more. All of your notes will have an impact on future searches.

Basically, you are doing some legwork to ensure that the search engine is actually finding things that are relevant.

You will need to be comfortable working in the realm of the internet in order for this to be a good option for you.

The typical rate for a search engine evaluator is about $12 an hour. Not too bad for a nice side hustle. Depending on the company you work for, your hourly rate could be more or less.

If this sounds like a great fit for you, then check out these companies to find an employer match. Leapforce, Appen, iSoftStone, and Lionbridge are all good companies to start with.

Leapforce and Lionbridge are Google's favorite two companies, so if you are looking to eventually work for Google then I would start with one of these options.

If you found your way to this article by doing a Google search, then you should realize why search engine evaluator jobs are a legitimate way to earn money.

Algorithms can only take search results so far, the last step has to be taken by a human. That human could be you!

6. Write and Sell Books on Google Play

Are you good with words? Or always dreamed of writing your very own novel? Then get writing! You can make a nice profit on the Google Play Store without having to go through a difficult publishing process.

First, you will have to write the book. After that, you can simply sign up as a publisher or author on the Google Books Partner Program. Just upload a book file and that's it! Yes, it really is as simple as that.

If you really enjoy writing and already want to write a book, then this could be a great option to make money with Google. However, writing a book is hard, so don't attempt it unless you really feel up to the challenge.

Publishing a book through this option is a great way to test the waters of the writing world. If you aren't sure about writing a whole novel, you can always write a series of short stories or a connected string of poetry instead.

Remember to make sure you enjoy what you are writing or it may be hard to finish what you started.

7. SEO Consulting

An SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategy is a very important part of any successful website. Although everyone would like to implement an SEO strategy, very few people have the skills necessary to do so.

If you have those skills, then you can offer your services to other businesses and websites. SEO consulting can be a lucrative business, but make sure that you know what you are doing.

You might not know anything about SEO, but you could learn it fairly easily. There are plenty of resources available, but like most things, you just need to put in the time.

8. Google Remote Careers

Google does hire remote workers. There are many developer and engineering remote jobs available at Google. You may also find other job remote job openings available for positions in operations or administration.

Google does not limit itself to just remote employees. The company policy also seems open to freelancers of all kinds. If you already have a freelancing career, then this may be something to look into.

The best place to look for a Google job is on their job board. Don't hesitate to reach out. Never be afraid of what could happen since the worst thing that could happen is that they say no.

9. Google Checkout

Although Google Checkout will not directly make you any money, it might help potential customers to feel comfortable purchasing an item from you. People trust Google, they might not trust your website.

Google Checkout is a payment handling service that will help make transactions between you and your customers easier.

Needless to say, Google Checkout will only be helpful if you have a business. Unless you are selling something already, this tactic will not help you make any money with Google.

Do you want to try your hand at selling something? Then give it a try. If you are looking for some ideas on what to sell, then check out this article on 23 things to sell from home online.

10. Google Keyword Planner

Google Keyword Planner is a tool that helps businesses and websites figure out what people are searching for in their queries. If you own a website, then this could be helpful for your long-term success.

When you know what people are searching for, you can easily craft or adjust your material to suit their needs.

Planning out your content with keywords may sound like a low rewards job. In the short-term, you will likely not see a huge surge in traffic and income since this is a long-term strategy.

As more visitors come to your site, you will have the opportunity to monetize that traffic and generate large profits over time.

Don't be discouraged if you don't see results right away, it may take a little while for your hard work to pay off.

11. YouTube

If you have a YouTube channel with a large following, then you can monetize that traffic with Google. The simplest method would be Google Adsense, but there are multiple ways to make money with YouTube videos and Google.

The more viewers you have, the more money you will earn. If you don't already have an audience, then start building one now!

12. Blogger

Blogger is a free platform that can be used to create and run a blog with. You can use Blogger to build a large following. Once you have a loyal following, you can start to monetize this traffic very easily through Blogger.

As with other blogs, you can monetize your sit in multiple ways. Google Adsense, affiliate marketing, and sponsored posts are just a few things to start out with.

Blogger is owned by Google, so, like most things that Google has created, it very easy to set up and use.
